[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Of course you pay her when you're away.  That's what you agreed on in your contract.

If my boss tells me that my work is closed on X week, but we'll be paid (something that happens in my field), and I schedule my vacation for that week, that's being responsible and sensible, not something that should be punished with docked pay.[/quote]

OP here.  I get this, and I have not had a problem with this exact scenerio on the past. We were going to be gone, so she goes out of town while we are gone.  I am a bit frustrated in this situation because, seeing it in black and white, it looks like she took a two week unpaid vacation during this time not because it was more convenient for us.  It really isn't.  But because she would get paid for part of this additional vacation.

I get why she did this.  And it is my fault for making this a possibility.  I will just need to be more strict about these thugs in the future.   [/quote]

I agree with you OP, she is doing this for the money. This shows her degree of professionalism (and lack thereof) and respect. 
Childcare is a give and take, relationship-based job.  Once trust is lost or she shows a bad attitude repeatedly or a lack of understanding, time to think about a new nanny. You will be vastly relieved. [/quote]
